I can't believe the month of April is almost over, and in a few days we will be enjoying the warmer month of May. Spring love is something that is experienced on a daily basis. Not only do animals sing songs, and new eggs are hatching, people are getting together too. I was asked to do a lesson that teaches you "how to draw hugging people", step by step. This was actually a good lesson for a request because drawing two people hugging is somewhat challenging. The tricky part about drawing people with arms wrapped around them, is getting their bodies to look in-sync with each other. I still have trouble drawing that aspect properly, and even in this lesson you might notice that something looks a bit off. This is an area that I have been working on since I've been drawing people a lot more. In time I will get better, and then when I do, I will eventually redo this lesson so that you too can draw bodies hugging each other better then before. When you hug someone, you are either doing this action because you are greeting a loved one, saying hello to a friend, congratulating an achievement, or maybe you want to say good-bye to a person you care for or love by wrapping your arms around them. A hug is an action that feels different every time. There is not one hug that feels the same because every person you hug, has a different feeling. No matter what kind of hug you give, each one has it's own meaning. I hope you have fun with this lesson that you will now tackle. Learning "how to draw hugging" people, is something that every artist should get down packed. When you are done, color in the picture and maybe give it to someone that you will be saying good-bye to. I will be back in a bit with a few more lessons for you all. Peace out people and have a happy drawing day.

How to Draw Hugging

STEP 1.

Draw the shape of two heads with the smaller head being the females. Next draw the bodies line of motion. This line is what dictates the pose for your two bodies.

STEP 2.

Now begin sketching out the hair styles for each person you are drawing. This is where you can start to have some fun because you can draw the hair styles you want to either resemble you and your loved one, or two people you know. Once this part of the lesson is done, you can move to step three.

STEP 3.

Since the only face you will see is the girls, you will draw out the shape of the face that you can see. Next add the eyes, and blushing marks on her cheeks. Next begin drawing out the shapes of their shoulders, arms, and backs. Be sure to draw the sleeves too.

STEP 4.

Finish sketching out the girls shirt and make sure you incorporate the shape of a breast when you do so. As you can see her shirt is tucked into her skirt which means you will have to draw puff lines at the waist. Sketch out the belt, and then draw out the ruffled skirt. Lastly, draw the two hands that are one the backs, one for her and one for him.

STEP 5.

YOu will now draw out the dudes torso and waist as you see here. Add the belt, and then draw his hips, and thighs which is also his pants. For the girl draw out her bent legs. This adds excitement to the character drawing.

STEP 6.

Finally, all you have to do is finish drawing out the legs on both people. Once this is done erase the guidelines, and head shapes to prepare you new drawing for color.

STEP 7.

In the end you will have something like this. I hope you enjoyed this lesson on how to draw hugging. Have fun coloring in your new drawing, and remember to join me again.
